Americans Never Eat Enough Beans!

Beans, peas and other legumes are in "style." Could it be because people are looking for more plant protein? For whatever reason, beans, peas and other legume dishes are in "style." The experts say we still eat fewer beans than recommended. I love beans! I usually eat beans several times per week.



Why are beans so good for you?

They are packed with:
  • fiber
  • protein
  • potassium
  • magnesium
  • folate
  • iron
More reasons to eat beans are:
  • Cholesterol: Beans lower LDL (bad) cholesterol
  • Blood pressure: Beans help lower blood pressure
  • Regularity: Beans contain a more concentrated source of fiber than fruit or vegetables
  • Plant protein: Eating beans instead of beef or pork can help lower your risk of colorectal cancer, heart disease and type 2 diabetes
One downside to beans is they can cause "gas in the stomach." To help with this problem:
  • cook beans thoroughly
  • use can beans instead
  • rinse away liquids
  • increase servings gradually
  • add 1/2 to 1 tsp. of baking soda to each pot of cook beans
For even healthier can beans, look for the no salt varieties. And in cooked beans of course you can use less salt.

Life's Abundance Plant Protein Chocolate Flavor
Our 100% grain-free, plant-based protein powder is a nutrient-rich blend of clean, high-quality proteins including pea, chia, pumpkin, hemp and quinoa.

At only 120 calories, it contains 15 grams of high-quality protein in every serving. For comparison, one-half of a boneless chicken breast, cooked is about 13 grams of protein and 115 calories.

Life’s Abundance Plant Protein is absolutely delicious and you can feel great about drinking it every day, because each and every ingredient was carefully chosen for its quality and safety.

While other protein powders use sunflower oil, we decided not to use this oil because it is high in omega-6 fatty acids, a fat that is much too prevalent in the American diet. Our Life’s Abundance Plant Protein contains non-GMO coconut oil powder, which is a great source of beneficial fatty acids that are easily absorbed. In addition, this health-promoting oil adds to the delicious taste and smooth texture of our blend.

Life’s Abundance Plant Protein is ideal for pre or post workouts, breakfast or whenever you need a healthy boost of energy from protein or a quick on-the-go snack.

With a superior taste and texture, it mixes easily with water into a silky smooth, rich and satisfying shake. Add to smoothies, pancakes, baked goods, oatmeal and more for a delicious way to increase protein.
